@MaryMary: I used to be exactly like you. I hated the idea of confining plants to pots..What if I forgot to water them? I always like the idea of planting perennials or annuals free range - in the ground so that they can stretch their roots to tap into the nutrients. But as I want to move and also having plants in pots will have pristine, perfect flowers, not a petal chomped by bugs .. I have gradually warmed to the idea of having plants in pots. The lasagna tastes nice and is definitely worth trying.. Very popular here in the UK as well..
